Today’s top research idea
ICICI Bank: Earnings normalization on track, asset quality
stabilizing
PAT stood at INR16.0b in 3QFY19, lower than our estimate of INR20.7b due to
higher provisions of INR42.4b (our estimate: INR33.9b). Asset quality improved,
with fresh slippages moderating to INR20.9b (our estimate: INR30b).
Advances grew ~12% YoY, with the domestic book growing by 14% YoY (22%
YoY growth in retail loans; portfolio buyout of INR68.5b). Overseas book
declined by 5.4% YoY, with the mix down to 11.9%. Deposit growth was also
healthy at 17% YoY (CASA growth of 15% YoY).
ICICIBC is in the midst of an improvement in the operating environment
(stressed asset resolution and growth pick-up) and is showing healthy signs of
earnings normalization. With asset quality stabilizing, credit costs are likely to
moderate meaningfully, boosting the return ratios. We cut our FY19/20E
earnings by 4.9%/0.3%, and estimate ICICIBC to deliver ~1.4% RoA by FY21.
Reiterate Buy with an SOTP-based TP of INR450 (2.1x Sep'20E ABV).
